dunkelza, if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Now you have the chance to either make history, or to plunge into the story.In addition Kickstarter there are many other ways to get huge money. For example, to publish a book "Tips for honeymooners". But there is another, quite different. Even if you do not get enough money, but you make a good game, you get more than money.You get the respect the community of Descent. It's a little different.

And so, any news about Descendent Studios and Valin's offer? Was he interested on the Tech Demo and he would like to invest or was not convinced?(I ask this as we still need $120,000 for the campaign to succeed and there are only 32 hours left, and hope this post doesn't bothers Valin)

guys, Valin has asked us to stop making parallel contact attempts and sending conspiratorial PM's. I think that might also extend to speculating about whatever offer he has or hasn't agreed to with the devs behind the scenes. Let them do their thing, and they'll speak when they want to.

Let's focus on the kickstarter. It's on a really good trajectory right now, but there are still risks. It's up over 80%, and it's pretty rare for a KS to fail at above 80%. But let's not hold back -- if you're going to support the project, jump in. I don't care if you back for $25 or $2500... just come be a part of it.

Okay, I'm willing to pay $ 50.But only after I try the free version. Although playing on pirate servers, it's not the greatest pleasure... I see that this game is full of surprises and of course I would prefer to buy a licensed version.

I've been extremely ill for the last few days, but I have received no communication from Descendant Studios in response to the message I was invited to send. I'm glad my aid was not needed to complete the funding of this project, and having just watched the above trailer, I'm already feeling much more confident in the result. I am still disappointed that they did not give me the chance to help them in a much larger way.

My offer for QA support and management yet stands, free of charge, though for reasons unknown I do not expect to hear from them.

After such a hectic few weeks, I doubt they have done anything since Friday.In fact, WM said they were going to take the weekend off and then hit the ground running.So no word yet is very understandable.

It's very generous of you to offer your abilities and expertise! Looking forward to your contributions to the game!

There has been talk of putting out a demo/shareware version, but not until late beta at least. Right now, very few people outside of the studio have flown it.

Q2: How does the mining thing work?

At present, there are destructible blocks and a short-range mining beam you use to disintegrate them. There's talk of potentially replacing it with something akin to a short-range fusion cannon that you can charge up and fire, so as to not spend a lot of time facing a wall (which is boring!) It's still very much a work in progress.

As for its value in the game, some game modes will depend heavily on resource collection and therefore mining, while other game modes won't use it at all.

Ok guys, some questions off the top of my head. I haven't read up much on the project yet so please bear with me.

- Is it the official, sanctioned sequel to D3? I mean you do have the approval of the intellectual property owners? I'm asking about this since you know how Sol Contingency was shot down by Interplay and all...- Will the plot touch on the source of the alien virus?

It's the official prequel. They have the rights from Interplay for the Descent name (but not the rights from Parallax for the pyro-GX or PTMC, which is why they made it a prequel.)

I don't think we know that yet.

Heya guys! Old school player here. Kind of getting caught up in the buzz about D:U. Haven't posted here in like years, but it's cool to know my login still works. Descent never dies! ANYWAYS... after getting Wingman's attention with a rather "salty" response to what turned out to be a glitch on the Descendant Studious website, I've been reading up a bit on this latest Descent reboot. On that note, I'm guessing that there can be no Dravis as well? He did work for the PTMC after all. No Pyro GX, or PTMC? I was hoping to get to know Dravis before I came to hate working for him, and eventually be betrayed! I'm sure he was always a prick but...

_________________Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way!

How come they can't get access to that original IP? The current rights holder just wont play ball?

Parallax and Interplay went through what I describe as "a messy divorce". There's a lot of interpersonal drama and distrust to overcome.

But WingMan's superpower is his ability to get multiple parties with divergent interests to work together. He might eventually get Mike and Matt to buy in (particularly given the hard line he took with Interplay -- they have no creative control.) We're just not to that point yet.
